Back to school/study

[stonepixie]

Sounds like me @j95 or I say that I will make notes and study outside of class, the fact that I'm writing notes in the weeks leading up to exams proved that was a lie. Hahaha

Thanks @Leethal !! 

I dropped out of school in year 10 and somehow got into an electrical apprenticeship, I struggled so much with it all especially with the maths. None of the work made any sense and I felt so embarassed to ask for help, a lot of my friends in that course had finished VCE and knew heaps more then me. I ended up sitting down with my boss and a few beers and he helped me a few times.

How do you stay organized and on top of things?

Half the time I don't, that's the problem!!

But what I do use?

STATIONERY!!

Also I do love using things like google calendar (= phone calendar) and evernote (to write things down and get it off my mind) and all sorts of similar stuff.

@OrangeOliver I use the calendar on my phone too! It helps a lot for those classes that only happen every two or three weeks.

So for a lot of us we have the right intention, but we aren't following through. Definitely something to look at for this year!

Ok guys on a very serious note, I don't understand the fascination or excitement for stationery lol is it just me?

@ryvb3 I use to hate the phone calandar but it's so good, plus I'm constantly on my phone, perfect!

Whereas every time I walk into Officeworks (or similar), I have to try REALLY hard to not walk out with a whole bunch of colour-coded binders/books/whatever else I can get my hands on, having spent way more than I can afford!

What is not to love about getting new stationary, @ruenhonx ? For me, it is kind of like a fresh start and if you get super cute stuff it will freshen up your room and my influence you to study more.

@ruenhonx officeworks is my favourite shop in the entire world, I just love new pens, paper, books everything. Funnily enough though, none of the colourful decorated stuff, I like it keeping it simple (must be a man thing - bright and colourful too much for our little minds to cope with)
